Billion Dollar Bracket

PRAISE FOR BILLION DOLLAR BRACKET AND DREW BRIDGES “By the end of the first page, I was hooked. Billion Dollar Bracket tells a story about intelligence, big money, mental illness, trust, diversity, and yes, basketball. A fascinating story.” – Tina Zion, Author, Lecturer “This book was tailor-made for me, telling the stories of many actors in the drama, with surprises every few chapters. In one of the multiple plot lines, Drew Bridges gives the reader a window into what it means for young athletes to deal with the competing demands of college sports. As a coach, I’ve lived parts of this story.” – Larry Marciniak, Assistant Basketball Coach at two different high schools and two different colleges in over 15 consecutive seasons “Drew Bridges keeps you on the edge of your stadium seat as you follow the bouncing ball from the hardwood courts, through the genius of the world of social media, and into the lives of those who embrace the March Madness of NCAA basketball. From the ‘war room’ of a Las Vegas gaming contest, to a small, rural southern university, every chapter changes the game. Who comes out a winner, and who is marked the loser, should come as a big surprise.” – William R. Finger, author of The Crane Dance: Taking Flight in Midlife “In this new novel by Drew Bridges there’s a lot to like: razor-sharp insights into the worlds of sports and mathematical probabilities, compelling characters, and a plot that keeps you turning the pages. This is more than a book about basketball. I give it my hearty recommendation. – Lucy Adkins, co-author of Writing in Community and The Fire Inside (soon to be released) “An intriguing story about hidden motives in the ultimate betting pool. It’s the NCAA basketball bracket contest on steroids. Odds are you will find Billion Dollar Bracket a winner. – Robert Moseley, author of Choker
